There are at least two ways to parse your statement, and they interpreted it differently from your intention.

I guess, if you ignore the comma...

Could’ve written like this to avoid the ambiguity: “I think advanced git knowledge, just like RegEx, …”

Rereading it, I now understand what you meant. I interpreted the "like regex" as an example of advanced git knowledge. I'm not sure the comma helps make it unambiguous though.

This is why you shouldn't rely on yourself alone for proofreading your writing, I probably could have read that a hundred times and not seen another way to read it without someone else pointing it out
